What a day! It was a full day and exhausting - - just like they said it would be.
Hannah started out with more lab work today then lots of meeting with therapists and nurses.
I was in a parent meeting from 10:00a to 11:00a. By the time 11:00a rolled around I was worn out! Being so immersed in the reality of the situation is just draining. You can see that by the time we had lunch, Hannah was looking a little worn too!
After lunch some of the kids in the program found Hannah and introduced themselves to her. It was super sweet of them and helped Hannah feel more at ease. We learned that about 78% of the kids in the program are girls. Interesting.
In the afternoon Hannah met with more professionals and did a lot of answering questions including a computer survery about her pain. She also got to spend time with the other kids in the program which was really great for her.
By the end of the day we were ready to just head back to the hotel and relax for the rest of the evening!
Tomorrow is the second day of evaluations and Friday will be her first day in the program. The kids we talked to were all very positive about the program. Very encouraging!
Hannah! I am praying for you and thinking of you! We miss y'all lots! God has you right in the palm of His hand! Love you sweetie!
